Mythbusters, the seven-time Emmy®-
nominated series premiered on Discovery in
January, 2003. Little did the network
imagine that when it introduced two special
effects artists, Adam Savage and Jamie
Hyneman, the show would still be going
strong after thirteen years.
These two men had an insatiable thirst for
knowledge, and they found a loyal audience
that was eager to learn along with them.
But all good things come to an end and now,
after 248 episodes, 2950 experiments, 1050
myths, and 900 explosions, hosts Adam
Savage and Jamie Hyneman will say
goodbye to the series this winter.

Mythbusters will be back for one final
season, starting January 9, 2016. Before
they say goodbye, though, Adam and Jamie
have some more surprises and thrills in
store for their audience.
Mythbusters was – and remains – an
exciting, brand new approach to science,
one that had never been done before… and it sure made science fun for millions of
viewers over the years.
Savage and Hyneman helped mold it into
the iconic, Emmy®-nominated series that it
is today.

From rocket cars to duct tape
myths, Breaking Bad myths to Breaking
Glass myths, these two guys have done it
all. Seth Rogen, James Cameron, Aaron
Paul, Vince Gilligan, Sophia Bush and many
more have stopped by to test out their
myth busting skills. Adam and Jamie even
caught the eye of the President of the
United States and welcomed President
Obama as a guest star back in 2010.

For the final season, Adam and Jamie say
goodbye to the show in the grandest
possible fashion. They’ll tackle some of the
biggest myths they’ve ever tested from
classic categories that made the show part
of our cultural lexicon: car stunts, social
science, viral videos, explosions (of
course!), and rockets. To top it off, they’ve
figured out the ultimate way to go out with a
bang. Fans can submit their farewell using
#MythYouGuys on Facebook, Twitter, and
Instagram. Some of the best will be featured
in the final season as the guys say their own
goodbyes.

In a television first, this holiday season, the
Science Channel will air every single
episode of Mythbusters in chronological
order! Beginning Wednesday, December
23rd at midnight, and ending on Sunday,
January 3rd at 8pm, fans will be able to
binge out on the series, starting with the
very first episode, “Jet Assisted Chevy,” and
concluding with “Star Wars: Revenge of the
Myth”. This should prove a fitting tribute to
Adam and Jamie’s final season of
Mythbusters, which will air in its entirety both
on Discovery Channel and Science Channel
beginning in January. Mark your calendars
to make sure you don’t miss it.
